EV Channels Review
The reviewer, driving a Tesla Model S P100D for the first time, is overwhelmingly impressed by its performance, describing the acceleration as "crazy fast" and "addictive." The P100D trim, featuring a 100 kWh battery and dual motors for all-wheel drive, delivers a 0-60 mph time of 2.5 seconds, which the reviewer highlights as astonishing given the car's nearly 5,000-pound weight. Beyond the raw speed, the reviewer praises the car's safety features, including a low center of gravity due to the battery placement and a substantial front crumple zone. The aerodynamic design, contributing to a claimed 315-mile range, and the minimalist, functional interior with a responsive 17-inch touchscreen are also noted positively. While visibility out the back is described as slightly cramped, the overall driving experience is lauded for its smooth ride, impressive handling for its weight, and precise throttle control. The reviewer concludes that the Model S P100D is a "ridiculously fast" and "super fun to drive" vehicle.
